Designing collaborative writing applications for children

Abstract

Online collaborative writing applications might motivate children to write together and thus stimulate their learning and crativity. Although a lot of research has been done on collaborative tools in the professional context, little has been known on collaborative writing for children. This paper investigates which user experience factors stimulate children to write together. An application for collabrative writing has been evaluated with 35 school children. Based on the results of this evaluation we give a list of recommendation for design of such applications.
